I was interested in seeing what some of our top performers projected end of the year stats were. This doesn't really mean a lot, but it was quite surprising that Pennington is on pace for damn near 4,000 yards! I did the calculations and I figured I'd share them with you guys.. I put asterisks next to guys that could have Pro Bowl considerations, IMO. OFFENSE: Chad Pennington: 66.5 Comp %, 3,911 yards, 14 TD, 9 INT, 7.9 YPA* Ronnie Brown: 228 attempts, 896 yards, 3.9 YPC, 16 TD* Ricky Williams: 158 attempts, 690 yards, 4.4 YPC, 6 TD Greg Camarillo: 84 receptions, 896 yards, 10.7 YPC, 2 TD Ted Ginn Jr: 60 receptions, 812 yards, 13.5 YPC, 2 TD Anthony Fasano: 39 receptions, 542 yards, 13.9 YPC, 6 TD David Martin: 34 receptions, 457 yards, 13.4 YPC, 2 TD DEFENSE: Yeremiah Bell: 126 tackles (98 solo), 6 FF* Channing Crowder: 121 tackles (89 solo), 2 FF Matt Roth: 60 tackles (53 solo), 4 sacks, 2 FF Joey Porter: 59 tackles (44 solo), 21.5 sacks, 6 FF* Will Allen: 55 tackles (44 solo), 2 FF, 4 INT*
Being that we are into the second half of this season whereby it is deamed to be "easy", not sure thats true, the stats could be even better than you guesstimate. I just want to see us keep winning and then the stats will surely take care of themselves.
you forgot Ronnies projected passing stats. I think they are gonna let him throw a traditional pass from the shotgun before the season is over. Maybe playaction to ricky, then hit fasano across the middle.
When people's stats are way above average over the first half of the year, they often tail off as opponents begin to gameplan against them. For example, Joey Porter won't have as many second-half of the season sacks because he is getting a lot more double teams now (or double teams plus a RB chipping him or QB rollout away from him). He had what, 11.5 in the first half of the season? I expect he'll get 7 or so in our last eight games. Still, great projections. Fun and, in some instances, as players improve or chemistry improves, they may actually pick up their pace. I think those who underperformed in the first half of the season but who are coming on now will have higher than expected stats.
